Darth Vader, formerly Anakin Skywalker. Anakin Skywalker was born on Tatooine. He had no Father. Anakin was raised by his mother, Shmi Skywalker. When he was 9 years old, Qui-Gon Jin gambled for him from Anakin's master. He was raised as a Jedi, and fell in love with and married Padme Amidala, Former Queen and Senator of Naboo. They had a secret marriage, and she became pregnant with Luke and Leia Skywalker. She died when she had them, and Obi-Wan Kenobi took them to Anakin's Step-brother and Step-sister-in-law, because Anakin turned to the Dark side.
Luke Skywalker was actually born on Polis Massa as his mother and Obi Wan were fleeing the Empire. After Luke's mother died in Childbirth, Obi Wan split the twins, Luke and Leia, to insure their survival. Luke was sent to Anakin's step-brother on Tatooine and Leia was taken to Bail Organa on Alderaan. That is where they grew up until they joined in the Rebellion against the empire.
